Dean McDowell was born, lives and works in Northern
Ireland. Graduating with honours in graphic design, he
worked within the graphics industry for several years before
moving into field of fine art.
Through the fine art medium he is intrinsically drawn to the
beauty within sorrow, this can be seen in his surreal portrait
of people. Initially one is drawn in by the dark emotional
subject matter and the circumstances of the image, and
finally asked to question not only their perspective but the
artist’s final intent. Using traditional painting techniques,
coupled with his knowledge of illustration he plays with the
atmosphere of each painting, never deciding what the mood
will be until the final brush stroke.
McDowell has exhibited extensively with work shown and on
display in galleries throughout the UK, Europe and America.
